Ok lets see some garden pic's

Due to unforeseen circumstances our garden is mostly just a weed patch.
However, I've got a ton of cucumbers.

Tomatoes are just now coming around.

I've made two gallons of Clausen style dill pickles and 12 pints of Bread N Butter pickles.

We had a decent strawberry season and I made some jam.

now something has eaten half a big tomato, too much for a bug or worm.
must be turkeys.
any ideas how to prevent other than shotgun?

. My guess. Would be a eastern box turtle eating spots out of the tomatoes, around here we call the little turtles, Tarpons.... they will make a mess of a pretty tomato patch

could be terrapins but ain't seen one in years.
after researching, it says terrapins live on the coast but i remember my dad calling them tarrapins.
i guess that's another problem when not staking tomatoes.
i've never had the problem before and i've never had turkeys before so that's why i blamed them.
my neighbor put up an automatic feeder and i see them go through the yard almost every day.
between coons getting the corn and maters disappearing, my 2 favorite veggies are under attack.
this means war...lol.

My man, been wondering about you. Between broken boat and a little man that plays every sport, I haven't been doing near the fishing I want to. It will change when he gets a little older. He can chauffer us around and **** up some knowledge from us old guy's LOL. We need to get together for a couple cold ones and catch up. Miss you brother, I'll be in touch, Chuck
